Hello, Hello

for solo bassoon
ca. 2’30”

Hello, Hello (2021) for solo bassoon is a short "encore piece" written for my good friend Ryan Goodwin. Ryan is a huge gamer, and so I knew I had to write something video-game-music-inspired. I went for this jazz-inspired idiom after listening to a bunch of Mario Kart soundtracks and decided to go for something fast-paced and full of momentum. "Hello, Hello" refers to his favorite greeting, and only Ryan himself can explain why plastic bags fear him——I can never do the story justice. It was a very fun piece to write, and I hope it is equally fun to play.

Hello, Hello was commissioned by Ryan Goodwin.
